Then throwing all this wardrobe mixing and matching asunder, Lady Gaga made an appearance at the One America Appeal concert with the five living ex-U.S. presidents. President George H.W. Bush, President George Bush, President Jimmy Carter, President Barack Obama, and President Clinton all attended the concert to help victims of recent hurricanes in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. And Gaga posed with the great men.
Culturally we’ve pretty much come to expect the black jacket turn from men. From Brando in “The Wild One,” to Elvis’ ’68 “Comeback Special” (dressed in head-to-toe black leather actually) to John Travolta’s T-Bird leader in Grease, the ubiquitous leather jacket has been recognized as male king-of-the-heap style. Yes, we did have Beyoncé wearing her Dsquared2 black leather jacket during her 2016 Super Bowl half-time show, but for a woman of such important feminist presence as Hillary Clinton sporting a leather jacket makes a statement indeed. And that the ex-First Lady chose these particular wardrobe choices at this specific conference made an even bigger impact around the web.
